Overview

Too often, threat data is conflated with threat intelligence. Turning raw data like a feed of suspicious email attachments into actionable intelligence is a challenge for any organisation defending against determined attackers.

Join senior SANS Instructor Dave Shackleford and Carsten Willems, co-founder of VMRay to learn how automated threat analysis is the key to turning millions of raw data points into actionable intelligence. In this webcast, we'll discuss:

Why organizations struggle with creating actionable threat intel

Key considerations enterprises need to focus on when undertaking SOC and DFIR automation

The fundamentals of creating faster and more accurate analysis results

The webinar concludes with an interactive Q&A with our experts. CPE Credit with SANS is available to all attendees.
